2015 Bahrain Grandprix Sunday April 19,2015

 

Defending world champion Lewis Hamilton extended his lead in this year`s title race on Sunday when he drove to a near-flawless victory in the Bahrain Grand Prix. 

The 30-year-old Briton, starting from the 42nd pole position of his career, led from lights to flag apart from two spells around the pit-stops to claim the 36th win of his career and his third in four races this year.

Lewis Hamilton came home 3.3 seconds clear of Finn Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari who stole second ahead of Nico Rosberg when the second Mercedes driver suffered a braking problem on the penultimate lap.
